Mizzou Names its Week One QB!!!

Brady Cook, starter of last year’s Armed Forces Bowl, was named QB1 on Tuesday night!

Dancing Mizzou baby (clearly not a baby anymore, but that’s besides the point) is excited, as is the sophomore Cook.

This is a fitting conclusion - at least right now - to the question of who will run the Tigers’ offense when they take the field September 1 against Louisiana Tech.

In eight career games for the Tigers, he is 52-for-65 with an 80% completion rate to go with 417 yards, averaging 6.4yd/attempt and 3 touchdowns. (Per sports-reference.com)

In light of this new QB1 news, let’s take a poll!

What becomes of Tyler Macon?

NOTE: I’m not including Abraham or Horn since they’re new, and I’m not comfortable enough football-wise to make predictions about Cook’s performance

    He’ll be a starter one day. Too talented to not see it happen.

  • Some scheduling news on a new multi-team event (MTE) for Dennis Gates’ squad! Looks like the Tigers will get a game with USC Upstate or MS Valley State or… another unnamed team. I say the more non-con games the better, and we can hope it wipes that one game right off the schedule.
  • Joe Lunardi has a new way-too-early Bracketology, and Mizzou finds itself as one of the First Four teams out.

And as Matthew J Harris’ twitter thread said, that means that the Tigers are roughly 8th or 9th in the SEC pecking order, which matches Bart Torvik’s predictions, which have the Tigers as the 48th best team in the country and an 18-13 record.
